Exclamation HITCHES IN SAA'S "BRILLIANT" NEW LOW COST AIRLINE PLAN

South African Airways, who are currently in thought about releasing a new low-cost airline to battle rivals like Kulula.com, 1Time, Nationwide and BA Comair have overlooked a hitch in their "ingenious" plan.

They were thinking that they would introduce the low cost airline as well as inside South Africa into Namibia with Johannesburg - Windhoek, Zimbabwe with Johannesburg - Harare and maybe even Botswana (johannesburg - Gabarone).

IMPOSSIBLE! The namibian goverment would never allow a low-cost airline in to their contry which, would automatically steal passengers from, and almost definatley bankrupt their national airline, Air Namibia, which is goverment owned. Especially, as people already approach SAA for flights to Namibia before Air Namibia itself. The same goes for Zimbabwe with Air Zimbabwe and Botswana and Air Botswana.
